'Lush' Ariana Grande fragrance is 50% off this weekend only
LookFantastic has slashed 50% off a huge range of perfumes for this weekend only, including a popular pick by Ariana Grande Fragrance fans rejoice, LookFantastic is running a huge sale on some of its best-selling perfumes but anyone wanting to snap up a bargain bottle will have to act fast because the deal ends on Monday. Ariana Grande 's hugely popular Thank U, Next Eau de Parfum has had its price halved, dropping from its original price of £55 to £27.50 for a 100ml bottle. Ideal for scent fans looking for a new summer fragrance, Thank U, Next is a sweet, playful perfume earning its own loyal following. Boasting a fruity blend of coconut, pear, and raspberry, the fragrance, releases a bouquet of delicate pink roses and undertones of musk, feeling indulgent without being overpowering. The result is a smooth finish that clings to the skin and lasts throughout the day. Its long-lasting staying power is one of the reasons it's recommended by fragrance fans. Shoppers looking for a summery fragrance are spoiled for choice at the moment, with several other retailers launching perfume sales, At Boots shoppers can currently save up to 50% off fragrances for summer too. The Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum 100ml is now £60.50, down from £121. Meanwhile, Superdrug has a huge selection of fragrance Star Buys, including Versace's The Dreamer For Him which has been reduced from £74 to £24 in their current sale, working out at a huge 67% saving. The fragrance has 468 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars making it at a standout option with shoppers. Part of Ariana Grande's growing perfume collection, Thank U, Next is loved for its fun, feminine bottle and the way it balances dessert-like sweetness with floral softness and musk undertones. One happy LookFantastic shopper summed it up by saying: 'Oh my goodness, this is lush. The smell does not wear off, it's great.' Fans love the perfume and, while at LookFantastic there aren't many reviews, a check at other retailers selling it are similarly glowing. At Superdrug, where it currently costs £44 as part of their fragrance sale, the fragrance has 4.9 stars out of 5 based on 60 reviews, with 98% of respondents saying they'd recommend it to a friend. One five star reviewer said: "I ordered this perfume yesterday and I have another one that I received for my birthday last year (I've not used it all up yet). It smells absolutely amazing and lasts pretty much all day, the shape of this bottle is lovely and reminds you of summer when you wear it. I would 1000% recommend it." However it wasn't a resounding hit with everyone. One three star reviewer said: "I have a lot of Ariana Grande's perfumes, this one isn't the best. It smells like oranges to me but I know thats the coconut." Many shoppers praise Thank U, Next for its long lasting scent, with another shopper describing it as their 'favourite perfume ever,' adding: "This is my fourth time repurchasing this perfume. It seems so good and it lasts so long (can even smell it the next day on your clothes)." The generous £27.50 saving on the 100ml bottle makes this a brilliant option for gifting too, whether for a birthday, special occasion, or just a little treat. This deal ends on Monday, as is available on LookFantastic.

Merit 'five minute' routine includes 'holy grail' glow serum
The Merit Prep Set is a four-piece bundle to prep skin for foundation and the routine includes a new tinted moisturiser just in time for summer Clean beauty brand Merit has offered fans a 15% off discount on the Prep Set, which includes a serum that has been hailed a "holy grail" for glowing skin. The sleek minimalistic packaging and hydrating skincare formulas have quickly turned Merit into a cult beauty brand and it has won over the likes of Demi Moore and Nichole Richie. Sharing on Instagram, Merit posted a "routine that takes only five minutes" and that's the Prep Set and the Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen. For a limited time, the Prep Set is reduced from £130 to £111 and it includes the viral Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, Great Skin Moisturiser, The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick and a Blending Brush. Formulated to plump and hydrate for an instant glow, the bi-phase serum, worth £34 alone, includes a blend of four types of hyaluronic acid to target multiple layers of skin to lock in moisture. It also has cacao seed extract to stimulate blood flow for an "immediate plumping effect". One fan reacted and shared: That serum is my holy grail! Compliments on my skin evey time I wear and the glow is amazing." Another added: "Need it all, the serum is my holy grail." The second step of the routine is to lock in hydration and prep skin for makeup using the Great Skin Priming Moisturiser. The pH-balanced face cream has added biomimetic emulsifier for a blurred, cashmere-like finish, while the peptides and oat extract deliver what fans said "wore so well throughout the day" and it "can be worn solo for a dewy look or use it as a primer for makeup". Then add in a shade of the Uniform, a tinted mineral sunscreen that comes with 15 shades. Our beauty writers have tested the skincare makeup-hybrid and Eve Rowlands described it as a "silky velvety texture and an airbrush finish", while Lauren Codling loved the "seamless blend" that saw her swapping out her M.A.C foundation in summer. But Bethan Shufflebotham found the Uniform "clinging" on particular dry areas and Eve suggested there could be a better design for the lid. Use along with the No.1 Blending Brush to create a well-protected smooth canvas before adding blush, contour and highlighter. There are other Tinted SPF Moisturisers on the market, including the Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturiser, £31, and the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen SPF30, which is on 20% off on LookFantastic and available at £13.60. The final step will be the Minimalist, a complexion stick that does not categorise as a foundation nor a concealer. It provides added coverage or can double as a contour to sculpt and define. One shopper said: "I am obsessed with The Uniform for all over and then use the Minimalist Stick as a concealer. Such a good duo." One fan raved about the Merit set: "Hands down best makeup I have ever used as a minimal five-minute makeup girl. Top notch and worth every single penny." Another used the Minimalist to cover her under eyes dark circles and loved how it "make my eyes look awake". But a shopper took away a star and shared: "Only negative is that I can go through this fast so a lower price would be more enticing. Merit is not the only brand that launch stick-like makeup , Charlotte Tilbury's Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint, £35, gives a "ring-like effect" that can double as highlighter or foundation. Pixi Beauty's On-the-Glow Base is a more affordable option and is available on Amazon for £22. The Merit Prep Set is now on 15% off and shoppers can complete the "five-minute routine" along with The Uniform.

'I discovered £22 lengthening mascara in £13 LookFantastic box'
LookFantastic's latest beauty box is packed with six products from brands like Lanolips, BeautyPro, Olaplex, Aromatherapy Associates and more As a beauty writer, I love discovering new products that are worth shouting about. And one particular brand helps me do exactly that each month with its monthly subscription box. LookFantastic sends out its beauty boxes at the start of each month and its June edit is filled with a variety of products to help give enjoy some pampering as well as keep their beauty arsenal topped up. And one product in particular from this month has me swooning at the product, application and results. Costing £15 for a one off payment or £13 a month when signing up for a 12-month commitment, the box contains six different products that cover hair, skincare, make-up and bath time. LookFantastic 's beauty haul rivals the likes of Glossybox's own subscription model which is one less item in and costs £13.50 for a off payment and £12.50 for a 12 month subscription. Meanwhile, OK!'s beauty box subscription is £8.99 and this month contains names like NUXE, Revolution Beauty and Mudmasky. With four full-size products and two deluxe sizes, the box itself has a total value of over £60, meaning beauty buffs can save £45 on names like Lanolips, BeautyPro, Olaplex, Aromatherapy Associates and more. The June Beauty Box (Worth Over £60) from Lookfantastic Product Description And three products have fast become my faves, with one standing out to me as a product I'll order again - despite having never previously heard of the brand. Sweed is a beauty brand whose products are vegan and designed with professional performance in mind. With award-winning products that promote a gorgeous 'no-makeup makeup look', its Pro Lash Life Mascara, which is included in this month's LookFantastic Beauty Box and usually costs £22, has left me seriously impressed. Plus, the brand works in collaboration with the organization Billion Baby Turtles and for every mascara sold, they rescue one sea turtle, which brings me joy. Now onto the mascara. As someone with relatively sensitive eyes and lashes that don't exactly have an impressive flutter naturally, I'm always sceptical when testing out new mascaras to see if they'll cause irritation or leave my eyelashes to flop. Thankfully, this mascara - which comes in an appealing aqua blue tube - gave a lovely lift to my lashes with only one coat and with its uniquely shaped skinny, one-sided brush, allowed me to coat each lash easily without any clumping. The brand explains its 'groundbreaking skinny brush starts coating each individual lash from root to tip creating maximum definition and a volume beyond belief'. The black shade also gave a lovely depth to my lashes too and gave me a bit of a confidence boost. I also love that the formula is infused with vitamin B5 to nourish lashes which is an added bonus. Plus, when it comes to taking it off, it melts of relatively easily. I went in first with warm water before setting my trusty Nivea eye make up remover on it to get the last dregs. All in all, Sweed's mascara gets a 10/10 from me. Also included in the box that proved useful, especially in the summer, is the Lanolips Lip Scrub. As someone who suffers from dry and flaky lips, this formula which is made with real ground coconut shell gave my lips a lovely softness and they smelt amazing with its coconut scent. The 70% lanolin is really effective in deeply hydrating and, throughout winter and summer Lanolips is one of the only lip products I use to help keep chapped lips at bay. While this scrub does a great job at doing the same sort of thing whilst buffing away any dead skin, the only slight nuisance is that its instructions suggest: 'Apply with your fingers and gently rub against lips for about 15 seconds. Dab away remaining scrub particles, leave behind the balm.' Now, unfortunately, being a relatively sticky product, it's not actually that easy to dab the particles away without taking off some of the balm, meaning when trying to do so I take most of it off. So its a technique I'm yet to perfect but practice makes perfect. Another really useful product in the box this month is the LookFantastic No Crease Clips (Full Size) Worth Over £9. While they may be simple, these clips are so handy for clipping fringes or loose bits of hair back, washing my face or even just wearing them to go out. I can confirm they do not leave dents in the hair, unlike some clips of this style, which makes them goldust. The three remaining products I'm saving for a day when I need of a bit of TLC are the Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Heat Protection and Frizz Reduction Nourishing Hair Serum, Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil and Beauty Pro Warming Eye Mask, all of which require time and space to indulge. The one I'm most excited to try is the warming eye mask, as someone who suffers from dry and tired eyes quite a lot. Having tested the Aromatherapy Associates oil out slightly too, I can confirm that it smells divine and just like I've walked into a spa oozing with essential oils. What's more, it left my skin super soft.

Liz Earle launches huge skincare bundle worth £191 for under £70
Shoppers can pick up the Liz Earle 30th birthday bundles and save over £120 on a new skincare routine British skincare brand Liz Earle, best known for its botanical formulas and gentle, results-driven routines, is turning 30 years old this June. And to celebrate, it's giving beauty buffs the chance to save money on their full size skincare staples with not one, but two limited-edition value bundles. Both of the deals feature five items, including Liz Earle's iconic Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, hydrating Instant Boost Skin Tonic, Superskin Face Serum and Superskin Night Cream. Then shoppers can choose either a Skin Repair moisturiser, or a Superskin moisturiser. The bundle featuring the Skin Repair is priced at £54.50 and is worth £171. Customers can choose from the light, rich or gel version of the cream to deliver 72 hours of lasting hydration for users' specific skin type. As part of the deal, shoppers essentially get five full-sized products for less than £11 each. For those with particularly dry skin or showing early signs of ageing, they may prefer to opt for the Superskin moisturiser, which is usually £48 alone. This makes the bundle slightly more expensive, with shoppers paying £69.50 for their set. They can opt for either the neroli-infused version, or unfragranced, both of which are said to firm, plump and smooth the appearance of skin.. All together, the products are valued at £191, saving more than £120 overall. With the brand's 30th anniversary falling on June 20, these bundles will be available from June 18-24, 2025. However, they are limited and are likely to sell out pretty quickly if previous Liz Earle bundle deals are anything to go by. 30th Birthday Bundle varies Liz Earle Shop here Product Description There are some other retailers selling discounted Liz Earle gift sets, too. At Boots, the Liz Earle Hydration Boosting Routine 3 Piece Set is worth £66 but is currently priced at £38.25. Meanwhile, LookFantastic has this Liz Earle Skincare Discovery Collection, which stars four minis for £21, which are ideal for travelling with. But we've no doubt that the birthday bundles will be a popular choice among beauty fans. Starring in both versions of the kit is the award-winning Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - a product that revolutionised cleansing when it launched in 1995. Beloved for its creamy texture and soothing ingredients like cocoa butter, eucalyptus, and rosemary, it's designed to gently remove makeup, pollutants, and daily grime without stripping the skin. On the Liz Earle website, it has a near-perfect 4.9-star rating from shoppers based on more than 5,700 reviews. One said: 'I have used this product for a number of years and I wouldn't use anything else on my face.' Another added: 'This cleanser is the only product that truly cleanses, nourishes and soothes my rosacea, sensitive, acne-prone skin. I have fewer spots and dry skin, and the accompanying cloth works wonders, too. The best cleanser, and I've tried many over the years, including high street and high-end brands.' Skincare isn't a one-size-fits-all, so some shoppers weren't as keen, with one commenting: 'I tried this for a good month but didn't feel it made my skin feel any better.' Another penned: 'Bought this product to try, having heard and read rave reviews over the years. Do not like it at all. It leaves my skin feeling very tight and dry, and I have to end up putting on loads of moisturiser.' However, others have used it for years, if not decades, and are still just as in love today as they were in the beginning. One five-star review read: 'I have used this product for a number of years and it never fails to amaze me. It doesn't seem to matter what type of skin you have - this product works. Makes your skin feel so smooth and properly clean, the muslin cloth gets rid of grime and makes skin glow. The 200ml tube lasts for months as you only need a small amount. I use this morning and night and would thoroughly recommend.' In other beauty deals, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45 , which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA. Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H. But if it's the Liz Earle birthday bundle you want to get your hands on, shoppers can find it here on the Liz Earle website.
